Me

Well since this is the month of stars, Ive decided to write about what else--MYSELF. Where to begin....

I was born in Harlem Hospital in 1985. From the pics Ive seen, I had a full head of hair and I was a GORGEOUS baby (no lie). My older sis Ray was 3 and her birthday is just 6 days before mine. My childhood is a blur, so Ill gloss over it. I will say tho that Ive seen pics of me and I went thru phases including an ugly duck phase. I also had complexion problems. In pics that Ive seen I was really light then in others I was really dark. Oh, and I had super long hair when I was younger. As the story goes, people had to stack several phone books on top of a chair so that they could braid my hair to the bottom.

So in high school I felt like a total space cadet. I never really had many friends, and I dont know if it was because I was weird or because I didnt like anyone. But I always remember being athletic and loving sports. In hs I played volleyball, basketball, and softball. I was really in shape and had a great body. I also loved participating in smart extracurricular activities. I came in first place 2 years in a row for story telling, Ive won numerous 24 competitions (a math game), 2nd place in the Spelling Bee, and I was on the Model UN Debate team. I actually thought being smart was cool, and I think it was kinda natural for me. I was in an advanced math class and I loved my physics class. BUT I had no direction. I didnt know what I wanted to do with my life and really had no idea what I could do. I didnt have a real role model and at times I felt really lost. My senior year I got out of school early and had a job. I missed my prom.......

College: Hooray!!! The first time Id really been outside of NY or away from home. My 4 years of college was amazing, and Im so glad for the experience. More to come soon.....
